Liar Liar:
Harry walked down the hallway of the school after potions. Of course potions had been as horrible as ever. Especially now that Snape hated him even more than last year. Snape had pretty much tortured Harry the whole class period and he had received many laughs from the Slytherins.
And the reason he was not walking with Hermione and Ron was that they had to run off and chase after a trouble-making third year. So, here Harry was. All alone once again. He sighed distressingly and walked into the Great Hall, sitting down to eat.
As he went to grab the bowl of pudding,, Ginny grabbed his arm and he cringed as her hand clasped around his cuts beneath his sleeve.
"Hey!" Ginny said cheerfully, dropping his arm. Harry flinched slightly and Ginny cocked her head, "You okay?"
Harry instantly smiled, trying to hide his gloominess, and nodded, "Yea, just fine." Harry stood up, "I was just leaving though."
As Harry turned to leave Ginny frowned, "But I just saw you sit down! I want to talk to someone and no one is here except you."
Harry clenched his teeth as aggravation washed over him, "Yea, well, I just remembered that I had to grab something out of my trunk before class. So, I have to go." Harry moved to leave again, but Ginny took hold of his bad arm and he bit his lip to quit himself from cringing again.
Ginny seemed angry suddenly, "Why don't you quit lying already? Everyone knows that you've been lying and we're sick of it. Why don't you just say what's on your mind?"
Harry's eyebrows lowered and he frowned, "Why don't you just leave me alone, eh? I mean, who asked for your opinion?" Harry wrenched his arm free from her grasp and stalked off.
"Harry!" Ginny shouted, only to have people look her way. She hissed under her breath and ran after him. She didn't care if he wanted to be left alone because he was her and her brother's friend. That meant that she would provide one of her ultra friend worries, even if she had to strap him to a chair. No matter how wrong that sounded.
Ginny caught up quickly to Harry and she grabbed his arm, yanking him back toward her. He let out a yelp and Ginny turned him around to face her. "I wasn't done talking to you!"
Harry glared at her and crossed his arms, "So . . . ? I was done talking to you."
Ginny felt ready to scream, "Why won't you just hear me out?!"
Harry spun around, but Ginny latched out again for his arm, but then boom! She tripped over her own feet and fell hard on the ground. Ginny groaned and Harry instantly stuck out his hand to help her, "You okay?"
Ginny winced and grabbed his hand, "I think so . . ." She looked at Harry's arm and her breath caught in her throat. "Harry . . . what . . . ?"
Harry's eyes widened and he ripped his hand away from hers. He was so stupid. She had definitely seen them, there was no doubt about it. Why didn't he see it coming? Of course his sleeve would rise if he reached for something. So stupid!
Harry eyes watched her expression and he wasn't sure he liked it. She was looking really freaked out and shocked and probably a hundred other things at once. And one of them was not happy or ecstatic.
"Har . . . what . . . are those . . . ?" Ginny's voice grew quiet and she couldn't seem to find any words.
Harry felt panicky. His heart was racing and he had no clue what to tell her. Of all the people to find out it had to be Ginny!
Ginny stood up suddenly and her eyes seemed on fire, "What are those?!"
Harry backed away from her and his eyes moved from her face to the floor, "I . . ."
Ginny looked ready to cry, "Please, don't you dare say you did that to yourself, Harry."
Harry stared at her, trying to find something . . . anything to say. "I won't then."
"Harry . . . Why?" Ginny whispered.
Harry turned away from her, "It's none of your bloody business. I have to go."
Ginny stared after him. She didn't chase after him and she could barely breathe. Why would he do that? He must know it's wrong. Was he that depressed? Is that what he did all summer long? Ginny grabbed her head and shut her eyes, stopping tears from falling.
"Ginny?" The familiar sound of her brother rang through her ears.
Ginny spun around and ripped her eyes open, "Ron?"
Ron frowned, "Um . . . why are you just standing there?"
"I was just . . . I was talking to Harry and he just left." Ginny couldn't decide whether or not to tell Ron. She watched as Hermione came running up behind Ron.
"That little kid! I can't believe people are still trying to pull a Fred and George!" Hermione paused as she stared from Ron to Ginny, "What's going on?"
Ron shrugged, "I dunno. We just missed Harry."
"Ooh, I have to talk to him about something." Hermione piped in with a smile.
Ginny nodded, "Er . . . yea."
Ron stared confusedly at Ginny, "Did something happen?"
Ginny stared at her hands and pulled at a string on his sweater, "You will have to ask Harry. I don't think I should say anything." With those last words Ginny walked away.
Ron shrugged and Hermione frowned, "I wonder what that was about. What do you think?"
Ron sighed heavily, "Probably nothing. He probably got mad at her or something. I mean, he's been getting mad at everyone lately, right?"
Hermione looked distressed, "You know . . . I don't know, Ron. I'm really worried about him . . ."
Ron nodded, ruffling his red hair, "You don't think . . . You don't reckon he'd do anything really stupid eh?"
Hermione raised her eyebrows, "I wouldn't be surprised if he did."
Harry stormed out the doors of the school and onto the grounds. The sunny sky beamed down upon him and birds chirped throughout the air. The day was a perfect sunny day and everyone looked so happy. Harry rolled his eyes and plopped down on a soft patch of grass near the water. He tossed a stone into the water and watched it skim lightly across the water.
A shadow fell over him and he looked up, "Sara?"
Sara smiled, his hair whipping in the soft wind, "Hello Harry!" She sat down next to him, "Aren't people supposed to hang out with their friends when they're not busy with school and not alone?"
Harry shrugged, "I suppose. What about you?"
Sara looked sad for a moment, "I don't really hang around too many people my age. They're usually older . . . and a lot more boring."
Harry grinned and laughed, "Is being an Auror that boring?"
Sara smiled slightly, "No, it's actually quite fun, I'm the youngest person and I hardly have time to do much else." Sara laughed, "Though, I can not imagine your life being that boring from what I have heard."
"I suppose." Harry looked away and felt a sharp pain inside him. "It's just loads of fun." Harry said sarcastically.
Sara sighed, "You seem so enthusiastic about it." Sara dug into her pocket and held out a Muggle penny, "A penny for your thoughts?"
Harry couldn't help but laugh, "I don't think so."
Sara laughed, "Fine then, don't tell me, but it's not too good to pent up all that anger and let it out at once. I heard you can implode from that."
"What? Liar." Harry said, feeling himself cheer up quite a bit.
"It's true. There was once a man in England who was always pissed off and he had no one to share his feelings with. Then one day he totally chewed out this lady at a grocery store. And poof! He disappeared. Rather tragic actually." Sara bit her lip, "I wouldn't want to live like him."
Harry couldn't stop laughing,, "Why would he implode?"
Sara shrugged, "It's true. I know these things."
Harry nodded and cocked his head sideways, "Alright, but I'm fine, honestly."
Sara shook her head, but didn't say anymore about it. "You know, Hogwarts is a really amazing school. So many people know how to create a patronus already. I wonder how they all learned it so quickly. I was looking forward to teaching you all something fresh and new. You wouldn't happen to know who taught them, do you?" Sara faced Harry and smirked.
Harry blushed bright red and shook his head, "None at all."
"Whatever," Sara stood up and brushed of her pants, "Harry, may I ask you something?"
Harry nodded, "Sure."
"You agree that it's hot outside, right?" Sara asked.
Harry frowned, "Er . . . yes?"
Sara straightened up from brushing off her pants and stared at the bright sky, "Then, why do you wear long sleeves instead of short?"
"What?" Harry thought it was the weirdest question.
"You know, why don't you wear short sleeves. It is terrible weather for long ones." Sara sounded serious.
Harry shrugged, "Er . . . I don't know. I prefer long sleeves is all it is."
Sara nodded slowly and sighed, "You know, another man who also lived in England lied his whole life to people, but he was miserable. One day he spoke the truth and told the Queen that she was mean to her subjects. Which she was. And you know what she did?" Harry shook his head and was rather flustered by the question. Sara continued, "She cut off his tongue so he could speak no more, but you know what?"
"What?" Harry said, feeling even worse.
"He was a whole hell of a lot happier with his life." Sara met eyes with Harry, "You shouldn't lie either."
Sara twirled around and walked off, her cloak swishing behind her. Harry's mouth fell open and he couldn't help himself from tugging his sleeve further over his cuts.
Author's Note: Hello, I hoped you like my chapter, but I have to get off now so I cannot write anymore. Haha, I love Sara. Yea, I know I created her, but when I create most of my characters, I create them because I love them. You know what else I noticed besides me forgetting the disclaimer? I don't put these before the second author's note: %%%%%%%%%% hahah, I loved those. Oh well. I'm a really forgetful person. I might write another chapter later tonight, so don't worry, it shall be soon. And please get all your friends to read my story here too. I like reviews haha. Good bye!
